Kanchan Bhagat, Ankush Jasrotia, Ravinder Kumar Bhagat

Background: Biomechanical preparation of the root canal is one of the most important steps in root canal treatment. The present study was conducted to compare shaping ability of different rotary instruments in simulated root canals. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 30 mandibular first premolar teeth with simulated root canals. The samples were divided into 3 groups. Group I teeth were prepared with Hershaper. Group II teeth were instrumented with K3 instruments. In Group III, root canals were instrumented with Protaper. In all groups, pre-instrumentation images were taken and post- instrumentation images were taken after injecting a contrast medium. Results: Protaper showed more volume change followed by K3 instrument and hero shaper. However, the difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that Protaper showed more volume change as compared to K3 instrument and hero shaper.
Key words: Heroshaper, K3, Protaper.
